It is set off from the rest of the world by the vast Pacific and Indian oceans. About 200 million years ago, all the land was joined in one supercontinent. Over time, this huge landmass broke apart into a number of tectonic plates.

The purpose of that policy was to keep people of color from entering the country. Any person who wanted to immigrate had to pass a “dictation test.” An official read aloud a 50-word statement in a European language. The newcomer had to write it down word for word. Those who could not were turned away. This test limited immigration mainly to white Europeans this ended in 1970 and then they opened their doors to anyone else in the world could come and live in their country.

Its seasons are the opposite of those in the northern half of the world. Summer there starts in December and runs through March. This is when the northern hemisphere is haveing cold winters. Also when we are in summer we grow crops but when we are in winter they do the same thing because they are in summer so they grow crops.

Cherries in Summer for Australia.

Canberra, the capital of Australia, is located at 35°S latitude and 149°E longitude. The letters S and E refer to hemispheres. Its latitude tells us that Canberra is in the Southern Hemisphere. This location explains why its seasons are the opposite of those in the United States. Its longitude tells us that Canberra is in the Eastern Hemisphere. This means that it is on the opposite side of the world from the United States.

Most were overflowing with convicts.Some prisoners were criminals. Others were poor people who could not pay their debts. Until the Americans rebelled, the government had reduced prison crowding by sending convicts to America. After 1783, this was no longer possible. Instead, the government decided to set up a prison colony in a place as far away as possible. That place was Australia. This is how the British took control of Australia.

We all know that Kangaroos live in Australia but why do they only live in Australia? This is because Australia was separated from the rest of the continents a very long time ago. Its plants and animals were isolated. They developed without contact with other species.  And so their were many species that were in Australia long before anyone knew about them and when Britin came they brought some of their species with them like the Rabbit and if you know me I love rabbits but australia didnt and they didnt like rabbits because they ate all their crops and populated fast and australia  is issolated from the rest of the world so they had a problem. This is Australias Amazing Wildlife.

They called this thin patch an ozone hole. At times, part of this ozone hole has moved north over nearby Australia. So now in Australia they have a rule in schools that you can not go outside without a hat so that more people have a less chance of getting skin cancer
